Wisconsin surely is the most underrated No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament, through no fault of its own. So many folks have basketball brains that turned to cheese without having to wear the ridiculous attire to prove it.

No. 2 seeds Michigan, Kansas and Villanova earned much more hype than Wisconsin. Villanova and Kansas already have been bounced out of the tournament. Michigan survived a scare from Tennessee on Friday and advanced to the Elite Eight.

The Badgers do things the right way. They’re not flashy or boisterous, just a hard-working team. The Badgers have a stifling defense. They’re unselfish. They’re deep. They’re just good.

Wisconsin doesn’t do much wrong. They’re No. 1 in the country in fewest turnovers per game, with eight. They’re reliable. They’re consistent, having made the NCAA Tournament in each of the last 16 years. And they’ve made the Sweet 16 in three of the last four years.

They’re not new. They’re just predictable.

We like Cinderella teams and flashy teams and teams that have stars like Jabari Parker, Doug McDermott and Andrew Wiggins.

Wisconsin is not a one-man show, but the Badgers can put on a show.

They have plenty of personality, too, if you’d just give them a chance.

Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan has an impressive resume, but he’s never been to the Final Four. A win over Arizona in Saturday’s West Region final at the Honda Center, and Wisconsin will not be ignored. Finally.

Wisconsin played the opening act Thursday against Baylor, and it was a snoozefest. Why? Well, Wisconsin was so much better than Baylor and won, 69-52. There were plenty of empty seats for that game, too. Arizona’s win over San Diego State was much more of a thriller, and the Honda Center was rocking for that game.

Asked if he thinks Wisconsin has registered on the national radar, guard Ben Brust said: “I mean, that doesn’t really matter to us. We’re just happy to have another 40 minutes. We’ve got a chance to play a great team in Arizona. If we just stay focused on the task at hand, the rest of the stuff takes care of itself. So just looking forward to getting out there Saturday.”

The most notable player is Kaminsky, the team’s leading scorer, averaging 13.6 points per game. He’s a 7-foot center, so how could you not notice him? He’s got a cool nickname, too, “Frank the Tank.”

That’s not what his teammates call him.

“That’s a media thing,” said reserve Jordan Hill (not to be confused with the Laker), who played at LaSalle High School of Pasadena. “We call him ‘Big Frank.’”

Wisconsin showed off its humor when Ryan and all five starters chatted with reporters on the podium.

Afterward, Frank told me the real nickname he goes by.

“My name is Francis Stanley III, so Francis the third,” Kaminsky told me. “But when I was a kid I couldn’t say third, so I said turd. So I’m called Frank the turd.”

At least he can have fun at his own expense.

And then there is his penchant for muttering under his breath on the court. He said he can’t say what he says, and officials can’t hear him talking under his breath, so it’s not like he’s collecting technicals.

Each of the starters was asked to come up with one or two words as to how they think Arizona would describe them, and Kaminsky said: “white guys.”

Ryan was discussing his Type-A personality when Brust mouthed the words “just a little bit” as he sat next to his coach and used his fingers to show a small margin.

When Ryan was talking about the tough area where he grew up in Chester, Pa., Brust said: “You got me there. I had a golf course in my backyard.”

And the other day, there was a celebrity in the house.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers met the team for the first time after Thursday’s blowout win. He took a selfie with Ryan. Kaminsky wasn’t star-struck.

“He’s probably the biggest celebrity in all of Wisconsin, so it was nice meeting him,” Kaminsky said. “But I’m a Bears fan. So I told him to stop beating up on the Bears.”

And we need to stop missing on Wisconsin.

Ryan — who has more than 700 victories — hasn’t catapulted Wisconsin to the Final Four, which is probably why the Badgers don’t have the national following to match their seed and fine play.

They’re durable and trustworthy and reliable. And with one more win, Wisconsin will have all the fans it can handle. And Kaminsky might regret letting that turd name out of the bag.
